This week we take a look at some of the pictures which have recently been added to the Sharing Wycombe’s Old Photographs website www.swop.org.uk.

These are added in batches of about 300 every month or so. The latest batch contains the usual eclectic mix of photographs.

Quite a few of them show the people who attended the different functions which clubs and associations in the district organised in the 1950s.

Here we show some typical examples, all of which are from July 1956.

These are senior pupils of Wycombe Court School dressed in costumes representing fashions from 1815 to 1928 at their Open Day, Church Rd, Lane End:
